The Selling Points of A Property
Friday, December 11, 2009 10:34
If you are selling, make sure the property looks its best. Some moeny spent on house designs and a day spent cleaning or painting really could seal the deal with potential buyers.
1. Give shabby walls a fresh coat of paint in a neutral shade.
2. Get carpets cleaned. Wipe down all countertops thoroughly and put away as many of your belongings as you can, clutter puts people off, they often can’t see past it.
3. Make sure the kitchen is tidy, with all the dishes washed up and put away. Don’t cook anything that’s going to create a lingering smell, use scented candles, fresh flowers or heat a handful of coffee beans in your oven for 10 minutes before viewers arrive. Remodel the stainless steel kitchen sinks if necessary. This little change could be very helpful.
4. Play up your home’s strongest points. If you have a real fireplace, clean it up and put candles inside to attract attention to it. Or if you have a stunning range cooker get it professionally cleaned, so it gleams.
5. Ask friends or family to look after any pets, not everyone loves animals and they can be a real turn-off for potential buyers.
6. Cast a critical eye over your house from across the street. It is easy to get used to it and not notice the peeling paint and dirty windows. Sweep up leaves and clear away any rubbish, invest in a few pot plants to brighten up the outside area and give your front door a wash.
7. And finally, if you are there when people come to view, make them welcome by offering them a drink and answer any of their questions, but leave them to walk around on their own. People often feel intimidated and won’t relax when the owner is standing right there. You need them to feel that this is the home for them from their very first visit.
